Iran says it shared a workable framework with Pakistan to permanently end conflict with the United States as diplomacy shifts to Oman.
WEBDESK – MediaBites News: Abbas Araghchi said Iran has shared a “workable framework” with Pakistan aimed at permanently ending the conflict with the United States, before traveling onward to Oman as part of a regional diplomatic push.
In a statement issued after his visit to Islamabad, Araghchi said discussions focused on restoring regional stability and ending the ongoing war. He did not disclose specific details of the proposed framework.
“We shared Iran’s position concerning a workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran,” he said.
The Iranian minister described his trip to Pakistan as “very fruitful” and praised Islamabad’s efforts as brotherly and constructive, highlighting Pakistan’s growing role as a mediator amid heightened regional tensions.
Araghchi also questioned Washington’s commitment to diplomacy, saying it remained unclear whether the United States was genuinely serious about negotiations.
Pakistan has increasingly emerged as an important channel of communication between Tehran and Washington following the recent military escalation and the stalled peace initiatives. During the Islamabad visit, Araghchi held talks with Shehbaz Sharif as efforts continued to revive earlier negotiations.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump said he had canceled a planned trip to Pakistan by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, adding that Washington would wait for Tehran to make the next move.
Iran has so far resisted direct talks with the United States, preferring messages to be relayed through Pakistan.
Following Islamabad, Araghchi arrived in Muscat, where discussions are expected to focus on economic cooperation, regional security, and diplomatic coordination. Oman has historically played a quiet but influential mediating role in Middle East disputes.
Analysts say the Muscat visit reflects Tehran’s broader strategy to maintain ties with the Gulf while managing tensions with the United States, Israel, and neighboring states.
